Brewton-Parker College accreditation reaffirmed

MOUNT VERNON, Ga. — Brewton-Parker College in Mount Vernon, Ga., announced Dec. 9 in a press release that its accreditation was reaffirmed and will remain an accredited member of The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC). The Georgia Baptist State Convention-affiliated school is no longer on probation. On Dec. 9, SACSCOC announced its decision at the conclusion of its annual meeting in Nashville. 

Brewton-Parker College President Ergun Caner and members of the executive cabinet met for an hour Dec. 6 in Nashville with the SACSCOC committee on compliance and reports to present new verified material evidence demonstrating the college’s compliance with the principles of accreditation. The evidence submitted and reviewed by SACSCOC verified the college has sufficient financial resources to meet its obligations and its mission, is financially stable, is in control of its finances and complies with its Title IV program responsibilities to the United States Department of Education. 

“This is a great day for Brewton-Parker College,” Caner said. “We are thankful that after reviewing all the evidence SACSCOC removed us from probation and reaffirmed our accreditation. The process that Brewton-Parker College has endured over the past four years shows that the system works. Brewton-Parker College is a better and much stronger institution today.”
